rSTECTAI. TELT.GRAM TO THE DISPATCH.
SlDXKT, O., Sept. 17. A crowd estimated
at from 6,000 to 10,000 people attended Gov--ernor
Campbell's meeting tliis afternoon,
which formally opened the Democratic cam
paign in this State. The 'weather was glor
ious, and the Democrats hare nothing to
complain of on that score. Excursions were
run from various, points, and the meeting
consisted of a good sprinkling of the Demo
crats in the Miami A'allcy.
The city was elaborately decorated, both
Democrats and Republicans contributing to
t'-Vs feature. Speaking stands were erected
l the four sides of the Court House.
S'reamers streVied across the streets which
JAMES E. CAMPBELL.
bore the legend: "The Campbells Are
Here." and bade everybody welcome. The
Gubernatorial party consisted of the Gov
ernor and Mrs. Campbell. General "Warner,
of New York: John A. McMahon and Con
gressman Outhwaite, of Ohio.
A KHSIDEXCE 3TA5IED FOR ITIM.
They arrived at noon, and were driven to
the palace residence ofjlon. John Laughlin,
wlio&e residence was christened Mount
Campbell two years ago in honor of the
Governor. Governor Campbell was intro
duced by Hon. H. L. Hersberger, candidate
for Representative in this county, who said
it was on the 17th of September that the
Duke of "Wellington gave Xapoleon Bona

On this, September 17, he contended, the
battle now began, in which "Wellington
Campbell would give to protectionist
Napoleon McKinley his everlasting "Water
loo. The Governor was enthusiastically
grfetei He really looked in fine form, an
occasional quiver in his voice being the
only token of his recent illness. The Gov
ernor spoke two hours and twenty minutes
favoring the free coinage of silver, free
wool and Democratic doctrines generally.

In the evening the crowds in town were
largely augmented by excursions from
IMlcfontaiue,Iiima and other points having
Democratic clubs. Senator Brice carao over
from Lima escorted by a delegation of COO.
He called upon the Governor and the other
distinguished person". Short speeches
were then made "by Governor Campbell and
Senator Brice and Messrs. Outhwaite, "War

In interviews thee Democratic leaders
all profess the greatest confidence in their
ability to carry the Buckeye State in No

their part will be an aggressive one from

he kept busy meeting the arguments they
will advance. The appearance of Senator
Brice here is regarded as an announcement
that no stone will be left unturned to corn
pas the defeat of the champion of pro
tection, but the Republicans are also upon
the alert, and will take steps to counteract
to-day's meeting.
A MfLTITrilE 01' VOKPS.
Tli entire report of the Governor's speech
contain"- fully 20.000 words, and would i.ike
np about two pagfs of The Disi-atch.
State issues, uere practically ignored, and
the orator rushed upon the important na
tional question at once, his opening sent
ences being as follnwc: "One of the most
encouraging features of the pending cam
paign is the univercal appiehcnsion exhib
ited by the Republican leaders with respect
to the tariff. Their concerted efforts to
i jnore that issue, or to treat it as i-ccondary
and unimportant, are exceedingly sugges
tive. Less than a rear aso. uhen the author
of tKe most oppressive tariff in our history
was defeated for re-election, the Republic
ans, with an almost unanimous voice, de
manded his nomination for Governor. Be
fore the convention met it was whispered
that the election might be jeopardized by
tee nomination of one who was the incarna
tion of protection in its most aggravated
form.
'It was not only too late at that time for a
re-on.ideratiou, but, undoubtedly, a large
majority of the delegates did not favor it
Tliev did not then realize the deep-seated
list red of the people for excessive "and un
just taxation. While they were somewhat
staggered by the depression in iiool, the
flump in iron and the semi-panicky con
dition which had prevailed in the money
inarket since the passage of the tariff bill,
they yet liarboreu the nope that the euor
wous'crops here and the failure abroad would
result in a temporary spurf of. prosperity,
for which, a usual, they could credit the
tarifl. So he nomination, being in other
respects unobjectionable, was duly made."
ATTACKING M'KIXLEY'S SILVER BECOKD.
Campbell then proceeded to accuse his
opponent of inconsistency in opposing free
j-iUer. savins: "Especially is thisreraark
jible t-'uee no later than February last, at
Toledo, he vehemently inveighed against
Mr. Cleve'and on account of the very same
letter for which he now commends him. He
aid: 'During all of his (Cleveland's)
years at the head of the Government, he
wis dishonoring one ofonr precious metals,
one or our great products, discrediting sil
ver, nr. I enhancing tlie price of gold. He
cmk-nvoi-ed even before hit, inauguration to
office to stop the roinnge of silver dollars,
anu afterward, and to the end of his admin
istration, persistently used his power to that
end.'
"In Ills opening speech, Major McKinley
plays a number of variations, in a htphiey,
upon the 'dishonest dollar,' the 'shoddy dol
lar.' the 'short dollar,' and the 'E0-cent dol
lar.' He then touches ft minor Icev and nro-
I ceeds to bewail tbesad condition of the poor
old soldier, whose ntue stipend or 12 per
month will, lie predicts, shriek to $9 60
'should we enter upon fiee coinage of stiver.
Sow is the time, and tbis is the place, to re
spectfully enquire of thoMaJor why lie was
not equally as solicitous about the dear old
soldier upon the 5th day of November In the
year of onr Lord 1S77: lor, upon that day, as
pace 241 or the Omgrctstonal Record dis
closes, be not only voted for the free and un
limited coinage of silver, but so eager was
he to pay off the old soldier in '80-cent dol
lars' tnat he actually voted to suspend the
rules in order that not one moment might
De lost in the Infliction of this outrage (as he
now terms It) upon helpless pensioners.
CLAIMS BOTH PARTIES ABE DIVIDED.
The truth is that in Ohio (notwithstand
ing the 'declaration in their platform) and
everywhere else especially in the Central
and Western States the Itepulican party is
seriously divided upon the free coinage of
sliver. In the United States Senate the vote
on that question stood IS Republicans for free
silver and 23 against it. The Republican
conventions in many States, beginning with
Indiana and moving westward, have de
clared in favor of It. Doubtless also the
Democratic party Is equally divided. There
ia an honest difference of opinion concern
ing tho time and manner in which silver can
bo restored to the place In our coinage
which it occupied nrior to its stealthy de
monetization in 1873: but the entire Democ
racy desire to see this done with honesty
and as speedily as existing conditions will
permit. We fo not Intend that this subject
hall go undebated, neither do we intend
that our enemies shall divert us from the
decisive issue of the tariff. Tho Ohio De
mocracy propose to defend bi-metallsm
which is the right of both metals to unlim
ited coinage, although wo may differ among
ourselves us to the means ot reaching such
coinage."
After 15 minutes more devoted to tho
silver question the Governor turned his at
tention to tho surplus,andsald,among other
things: "Tho great Democratic surplus is
gone. There Is not enough left for Mr.
Foster to furnish a respectable 'remnant
counter.' The United States of America
resorts to juggled bookkeeping in order to
conceal the barrenness of its coffers. The
Secretary under whose administration this
Fioverty stricken condition exists has boast
ully said that 'this is a billion dollar
country.' His empty treasury vaults will
forever be pointed to as a legacy bequeathed
to that country by the 'billion dollar con
gress.' The gentlemen who constituted that
unenviable body left nothing behind them
but tlie reserves which they could not use."
ATTACK ON rrTTSDUBG INDUSTRIES.
The tariff now claimed Campbell's "atten
tion, and he proceeded to deliver a lengthy
lecture on the subject, going back to 1801.
After awhile, however, he got into present
tense, and said: "As an illustration of the
effects of high protection, it may be said
that the United States Glass Company, the
'combine' into which all the glass factories
of the Ohio Valley were recently merged,
will make a sweeping change. Hereafter all
the molds made by the trust will be made in
three factories. The mold shops in over 25
other factories will be closed This change
will throw over LOCK) mold makers out of em
ployment. The nen s papers also announce
that the flint glass Arm of Doylo & Co., of
Pittsbunr. has joined tho 'combine.' It is
claimed that thcaccesslon of Doyle & Co.
will make the combination strong enongh to
control production, dictate prices and freeze
out small competitors.
"In reference to glass, Mr. MoKlnley said
at Lakeside: 'If you want to break down the
great glass interests, f this country, then
yon wantto tear down the 60 per cent pro
tective tariff and put up the 10 per cent rev
enue tariff, and it won't be 24 months before
the fires have gone out in every one of your
glass factories throughout the United States.'
At the time he was uttering this sentiment a
citizen of Lakeside was holding a stosk of
glass iruit jars, neioretne newtann pat.seu
lie offered them for sale unsuccessfully at
$6 50 per gross. After the law passed he was
offered $10 per gross. The increased cost of
this glass by the time it reaches the con
sumer will bo fully 300 per cent, but not one
dollar will .go to the labor which pro
duced It.
HASPING ON SUGAB AND TIN.
"When you speak of .these serious matters
to a Republican politician, his unvarying
reply is, 'but you get your sugar cheaper.'
If it were a good thing, as tho Republicans,
including McKinley. claim, to have made
sugar free, why did he, in the debate upon
tho bill, May 20, 1390, say, 'I would have pre
ferred, .Mr. Chairman, if the article of sugar
could nave been loft in the train schedule
upon the dutiable list?'
"While free sugar is only a humbug, the
action of Congrrs with reference to the
tariff on tin ainounB almost to a crime. The
former duty on tin plate was 1 cent per
pound: the new tariff increases It to 2 2-10
cents per pound. No tin plate was made in
this country then; and none is made now,
except for political effect, and a greatly en
hanced cost. The tin badge whion you see
at political meetings is made from imported
iron, dipped In imported tin by imported
workmen. The only thing about it whlchls
'American' is the easily gulled citizen who
wears it,
"During the fiscal year 1839 the value of
tin plate impoitcd was $21,222,G53, and the
revenue therefrom was $7,357,00. Upon this
basis the additional duty will be $3,829,300,
making the total cost of a year's consump
tion of tin ware aggregate the sum of $37,
409,813. This enormous addition to the cost
of living comes principally from farmers
and laborers. It is defended upon the pie
tense that tin ores can be mined In this
country; tin plate factories established; and
labor have a wider field. A scrutiny ot the
tacts w 111 show that so far as furnishing a
large field for new labor, it is an utter im
possibility. EVEN KECirEOCITV ASSAILED.
".Mr. McKinley said at Niles: 'There is con
tained In the new law a reciprocity pro
vision by which the administration has
already made i aluable treatises witli Jlrazll,
San Domingo and Spain.' If this be correct
(although we dispute tho value of these
treaties) 31r. McKinley is the last man in
America -nho should say so, for he con
structed the bill and passed it through the
House without one syllable relating to re
ciprocity. With respect to thlt provision,
tho Major is in the same position as upon
the tree tmar clause, to wit: He is entitled
to no credit, -yet he boasts prodigiously of
their benefit to the country. Free sugar
mid reciprocity real reciprocity are. un
ndultci cu free trade. Strange, is it not, that
the tuolree trade tcaturus of the bill are
put forward as its chief merit.
"The mild form of reciprocity embodied In
tho new tariff applies only to hides, tea,
coffee, sugnrand molasses, n hich are already
on the free list. The bill provides that if
the countries producing them Impose duties
and exactions on goods shipped from this
country, then the President may, If he sees
lit, restore the duty on the Ave articles above
enumerated. This would be gratuitously
taxing ourselves yet more a perfect in
btanceof "cutting off" the nose to spite the
face.'' Besides the countries producing the
foregoing articles nave precious little com
merce w ith us. It we are going to have genu
ine leciproclty, or actually reciprocal trade
relations with loreign nations, why waste
our sweetness on Cuba and San Domingo?
Let us have reciprocity with Canada,
England, France, anjl Germany, where our
trade is great. That would be Democratic
reciprocity. Jefferson promulgated this
doctrine during Washington's administra
tion a century ago. It was also a leading
theme in Jackson's messages. Douglass
proposed a plan of reciprocity with the na
tions of this continent 40 years ago. Secre
tary Macy negotiated a reciprocity treaty
with Canada which was abrogated by the
outbreak of the war after several years of
successful operation. The Democrats at the
last session of the Senate voted unanimously
for this kind or reciprocity, but were met
with a boltd Republican negative."

Piqca, O., Sept 17. At 6 o'clock this
morning in Bellefbntaine more than 100
echoing anvils .fired simultaneously ap
prised the people of that town that to-day
Major McKinley.the champion of American
industry, was to appear among them. The
day could not have been finer. People be
gan to arrive there from every direction,
until by noon more than 5,000 were on hand
to welcome the hero of the day. Major Mc
Kinley arrived from Bncyrus at 12 o'clock.
He immediately entered a carriage and was
driven over the principal streets, followed
by a long line of delegates from the neigh
boring towns. At 2:30 he mounted a stand
erected in front of the Court House, and for
nearly two hours spoke to the people upon
the great question ot protection and honest
money.
At the close of his speech a barrel of
sugar was rolled up and lifted upon the
platform, which Judge West, in one of his
characteristic speeches, presented to the
Major on behalf of the workingmen of 'that
"city, they taking this method of expressing
their appreciation for what he had done
toward the reduction in the price ot this ar

A recent estimate made by the dealers of
Bellefontalne shows that 81,500 has been

MrfKinley this evening to Sidney on his
way to Piqua. Hon. H. G. Horr, of Michi
gan,' delivered an eloquent speech at the
Iiellcfontaino Opera House to-iiight.
Major McKinley received a grand ova

ing. A happy local feature was the appear
ance of thousands of badges, consisting of a
small tin plate, with the inscription that
"It was made of California tin, Missouri
lead and steel sheets rolled at the Piqua
These badges were worn and proudly dis
played In even' direction.
No hall in Southwestern Ohio would hold
the people who wanted to hear McKinley,
and the wenther being warm a stand was
erected facing tho public square. The stand
was profusely decorated with American
flags and large sheets of Plqua tin. Seats
lor several thousand people were hastily
constructed on the square, and when Mc
Kinley stepped on the platform he over
looked a sea of humanity that surged rar be
yond the seats and of reach of the speaker's
voice.

JONES WON'T PAT THE PBEIGHT.
The Lieutenant Governor Bolts the New
York Democratic Ticket,
BlNOHAsrroir, N. T., Sept. 17. In response
to inquiries as to his position regarding the
Democratic ticket, Lieutenant Governor
Jones to-'day prepared a statement for the
press,but he declines to specify Just what
steps he proposes to take to accomplish his
declared purpose. He says that his political
action has always been controlled by his
sense of duty as a citizen, never recogniz
ing conflicting party' obligations. Ho be
lieves In this Instance that not only have the
interests of tho people been sacrificed, but
that the existence of the Democratic party
has been Jeopardized; tor behind the nom
inations and In absolute control of the
party were men whoso every sentiment of
patriotism is subject to either their personal
ambition or their selfish greed, una the ad
ministration of public affairs is shaped to
perpetuate their rule.
"There is but one way to dislodge these
usurpers. The temporary defeat of the party
will be harmless compared with tho effects
of their control. For the welfare of the Slate
and In the interest of the Democratic party
to me, ray duty appears clear, which is to
oppose the election of the nominees of the
Saratoga convention to such an extent as
may be within my power, and in such man
ner as may seem best to accomplish that
purpose."

Grand Island, Neb., .Sept. 17. It was
nearly 9 P. M., hotter than Texas, and every
body in shirt sleeves when the Nebraska
State Democratic Convention came to order
here this evening for a session that It was
feared would last-till darlight. Strenuoutf
missionary work, persistently continued to
head offa possible serions split regarding
the attitude of the party toward the farmers,
particularly in the railroad question, was
apparently to a large extent responsible for
the extraordinary late start.
The fortunes of a famous leader ex-Gov-i
ernor Bovd hung trembling in the balance
to-day. It was whispered that a resolution,
would be offered indorsing JJoyd's veto of
the bill passed by the FarmersJ. Alliance'
Leg slature establishing a maximum Bcale'
of freight rates on railroads. Predictions
were freely made that if the resolution in
dorsing his veto were presented his deposi

dethronement he would suffer .as a Demo
crat A strong effort was made during the
day to stop the Boyd fight before it conld
fairly begin.
Frank P. Ireland, who was not opposed
to Boyd, wos made Temporary Chairman.
A peace spike was swiftly driven by the
convention ordering that all resolutions be
referred unread to the Committee on Plat
form. J. H. Broody was nominated for
member of the Supreme Court, nnd P. A.
Brogan forBegentof tho State University.
This completed tho ticket. During one of
the speeches the mention of the name of
Grover Cleveland created such enthusiasm
that It was found necessary to adjourn for
half an hour for refreshments. The hall
was cleared In 38 seconds by the watch.
After the recess the Committee on Reso

adopted. After an exordium returning
thanks to Almighty God for past blessings,

antl-trnst legislation, and renews devotion
to the interests of the laboring classos,
favors the election of United States Senators
by popular vote, and liberal pensions, and
condemns the McKinley bill. The plank re
garding the Boyd Gubernatorial contest
reads thus:
"We denounce as suggestive of partisan
prejudice the indecent baste shown in issu
ing the writ of ouster against Hon. James
E. Boyd, the chosen Governor, denying to
him that courtesy and fair treatment usually
accorded to the meanest criminal in the
land; and, we regret that a man could be
found within the bounds of the State willing
to claim upon a technicality with equity nn
office to which another was called by tho
votes of the people."
When thfs last plank, the subject or
Governor Boyd and maximum freight
law were read, enthusiasm of the conven
tion was at too high a pitch to tolerate for
an instant the thought of a split, and a last
vestige of fear of such a calamity quickly
vanished under the spell of oratory, whioh
made occasional deft allusions to the Hon.
Grover Cleveland. .
It was now Hearing midnight and the con

it had come prepared for a daylight adjourn

A CAMPM CRISIS.

French Leaders Indignant at the Actions
of the Government.
QUEBEC OFFICIALS TO RESIGN TO-DAY
rsFECIlI. TELKOBAM TO TItB D!PATCn.l
Montreal,, Sept. 17. The Province of
Quebec is in the midst of the most im
portant political crisis that has taken place
in many years. So acute is the political
situation that a report was received here to
night from Quebec, tha't the Government
may resign to-morrow, in which case a po
litical agitation of the utmost importance
will be precipitated.
i The crisis is the outcome of a conflict of
authority between Lieutenant Governor
Angers, the representative of the Crown,
and Mr. Mercler, the head of tho Quebec
Government. Mr. Mercler is charged with
Being implicated in the scandal which was
recently unearthed at Ottawa, where it was
own that his chief political agent, Pacaud,
ad swindled the treasury of Quebec out of
00.000, which was devoted to the paying
f the debts of Mr. Mercier and other Min-
ters.
the cause op a sensation.
Lieutenant Governor Angers thereupon
tiled upon Mr. Mercier for explanation
d insisted unon the annomtment of a
rbyal commission, consisting of three
Judges, to hold an investigation. He also
transmitted the correspondence that passed
tween him and the head of the Govern-
ent to the Governor General and contrary
U all precedent this has been laid for the
ominion Parliament and made public.
The publication of the correspondence
has created a great sensation. The Liberals
are indignant and say that such a proceed
ing is against all constitutional usage. The
French Liberals are highly Incensed, as they
claim that the action is n direct attack on
the autonomy of the provinces.
The greatest exrltement prevails here
over the situation, nnd everyone is waiting
anxiously to see what the Quebec Govern
ment will do. Mr. Mercier, it is understood,
will refuse to comply with the demands of
the Lieutenant Governor, and will rorce tho
latter to dismiss the Ministry, In which case
ft direct conflict will arise between the
Crown nnd the representatives of tho peo
ple. THE FEENCH LEADERS ANGRY.
The conflict may have far-reaching conse
quences,as the French leaders feel very sore
at the present over the manner in which
they are being treated by the English party
and it would take very little to raise a seri
ous conflict.
Xa Patrie, tho French Liberal organ, to
night says: "The die is cast. The Lieuten
ant Governor of Quebec is nothing mote
then a common clerk; acting hnder the in
spiration and by the orders of the Govern
ment at Ottawa. This Is the way Conserva
tives understand provincial autonomy.
From this to legislative union there is but' a
step to go. In tho present crisis it is the
Senate, the firth wheel of our federal organ
ization, which is Introducing itself into our
Quebec affairs. This can be easily seen by
reading the text of Mr. Angers' letter sub
mitted to the Federal Senate. Where will
this lead us to? The fine patriotic and con
stitutional role remains with the Liberal
party, and the Hon. Mr. Mercler remains the
champion of Provincial autonomy."

f SPECIAL TELEGBAM TO THE DISPATCH.!
Washington, Sept. 17. Cresar Celso
3Ioreno, an Italian citizen of 'Washington
and" former resident of the Sandwich Islands,
had a talk with President Harrison to-day
by appointment. Senor Mareno represents,
he says, the Nationalist or Home party of
the island, and his visit to the White House
was for the purpose of formally notifying
the President that England is about to try
the experiment ot taking forcible possession
of the Sandwich Islands, and that if the
United States permit the British plans to
be carried forward they will soon be con
fronted with the fact of the' capture.
The President thanked Senor Mareno
for the information, but said that he could
property -take no Official notice of it until it
.should come to him through State Depart
ment channels. He thereupon advised that
Acting Sectetary of State "Wharton he made
acquainted with the important message
sent by the Nationalist party, but his caller
said that he had already seen Mr. "Wharton,
who had referred him to the White House.
"Well," replied the President, "Mr.
Blaine will be here 60on and he will with
out doubt look into the matter."
Mr. Mareno also displayed copies of Hon
olulu newspapers containing appeals to the
United States to have the cruiser Charleston
ordered away and that all attempts on the
part of the United States to protect the mis
sionaries on the Island sbonld cease. Mr.
Mareno seemed greatly impressed with the
importance ot the subject which he brought
to the President's attention, and thinks Mr.
Blaine will agree with him that steps should
bo taken also to block the efforts of England
to capture the islands.
IHGAIW IH "WASHINGTON.
He Says That Harrison Can Surely Get a

Washington, Sept. 17. Special Ex-Senator
Ingalls is in the city, to place his daugh

tion. The Kansas statesman will leave to
day for Birmingham, Ala., to attend to some
Important business matters. "Yes," said he
to a Dispatch reporter, "I am feeling good;
farming seem9 to agree with me. It seems
that the administration has followed tho ox
ample of the Disciples, a sort of piscatorial
administration."
Mr. Ingalls said that If Mr. Harrison de
sired a. renomlnatlon he would get it. "You
know," said ho, "that about this time dur
ing Cleveland's administration there was
more or less hostility shown by the leaders
of tho Democratic party to tho renomlna
tlon of Cleveland, but when tho convent! on
metsomoof tho very men who had been
criticizing the President wore climbing
over ono another to renominate hira by ac
clamation. Or course Hrrrison will 'be re
nominated not to do so would be an admis
sion that his administration and tho Re
publican policy had been a failure. The
aspersions on the administration come from
men who are plqned at failure to secure of
fice, and, of course; the people of the coun
try are not concerned about the disappoint

The President In reply spoke of his recent
Southern trip and of the lnafVelous re
sources now about to bo opened. The old
system made Georgia a plantation State,
but by combining manufactures with agri
culture, other industries nre developed
without disturbing the surface of the coun
try. He spoke of his Eastern visit and the
Impression created by the numerous indus

the Desirable Lands Harrison Popular,

"Washington, Sept. 17. Special. The
delegation of Oklahoma boomers, who have
been In "Washington ior several days, look
ing after the allotment of the Indian lands
in the Territory, left to-night for .i-heir
"Western homes. They are satisfied with
the final arrangements of the terms of the
long-expected proclamation throwing these
lands open to settlement, and they have
some big stories to tell about the capabilities
of the land and the prospects of this new
fountry. Mr. Hamlin "W. Sawyer, one of
the newspaper pioneers of the Territory,
said:
"ThenewTerritory is as a rule fine agricul
tural land, well watered and blessed with a
sufficiency of trimber for fuel, fencing and.
the construction of ont houses. (Jrons have
been exceedingly fine this year, and wide
spread knowledge of this fact makes it sure
that every quarter section will be occupied
within one day from the opening. I brought
with me and left at the Agricultural De
partment specimens of our products; com 12.
feet high, .sugar cane over ll Jeetand cotton
that reached an altitude oC 6 feet 4 Inches.
Tho average height of cotton is about up to
the waist of an ordinary sized man. One
stalk of cotton had on It 113 bolls and blooms.
Some on tho prairie had measured 8 feet 6
Inches from the ground up, which will be our
staple product. We are situated between
the North and the Ssnth, and we can raise
both corn and cotton. The two kings will
have to struggle for supremacy."
Talking about politics Mr. Sawyer said:
"President Harrison's admin istrntion is very
fiopnlar In ourneighborhood. He endeared
ilmself to the Oklanomans and to eyery
other fair-minded man In-the Southwest by
his action in behalf of a deep-water harbor
at Galveston. If General Harrison is re
nominated we shall be satisfied, although we
will-not be able to help matters along with
votes.
"Popular as Harrison nndoubtedly is
though, there Is more heartfelt affection for
Blaine than for any other living being. Re
publicans and Democrats alike are in love
with his, labors in behair of reciprocity.
There Is another man in the Cabinet we
think a great dealpf Secretary Busk. He
would suit the West very well as a candi
date. Incidentally we imagine he could get
there."

CLERK nASTIXGS TO BE PEOSECUTED
City Hall, Allegheny, was crowded with
interested citizens last night, the fact being,
known that Councils would in all probabil
ity take action on the street railway fran
chise ordinances pending and other impor
tant matters. The result of the proceed
ings was very gratifyingto all who have been
fighting for a Settlement of the claims
alleged to beduefrom the traction companies
to the city. Tlie franchise ordinances were
all laid on the table, without serious oppo
sition, and a business-like resolution, refus
ing to grant the franchises asked until a
settlement or an understanding was reached,
was passed. Interest, of course, was cen
tered in the proceedings of the Select
branch, where these matters came up. At
the coll of the wards papers were read and
referred, as follows:
In the Select Council on the call of the
wards the following papers were presented
and referred;
Mr. "Wertheimer, a resolution transferring
$100,000 from any funds not otherwise ap
propriated to the contingent fund; an ordi
nance by which the city agrees to pay the

Mr. Emrich, petition for the North End

Mr. Hannan, petition for" the North End
Street Kailway Company.
Mr. Kennedy, ordinance granting the
Penn Cotton Mill Company the right to lay
a switch on Eiver avenue.
Mr. Lowe offered a resolution at this
juncture which it was thought would create
considerable opposition, though nobody
materialized who dared to seriously fight it.
It was in substance that no more franchises
be granted to street railways now delinquent
in the payment of taxes, dividends and
other debts due the city until the same are
paid.
Arthur Kennedy did not oppose the idea,
but thought the resolution too sweeping:
He said that the street railways claim that
there are open and disputed questions in
volved which must first be settled. He
offered an amendment to the resolution,
adding the words, "or satisfactorily ex
plained," after the demand for payment,
but a moment later withdrew it- Mr. "Wer
theimer moved to amend the ordinance so
as to provide that no action be taken on
any street railway franchise ordinance until
the Indebtedness is explained to the satis
faction of the Finance Committee. In this
form the resolution was adopted.
GILLTFOnD SPBINGS A BOMB.
Dr. Gilliford, of the Auditing Committee,
here asked the privilege of reading a care
fully compiled and itemized report of the
indebtedness due the city from each of the
street railway companies operated in the
city. The request was given and he read
the following:
The Pittsburg, Allegheny and Manchester
Railway Company In 1868 declared a stock
atvidend of 7 per cent on $200.000 oqual
to H,000, on which tho city
was entitled to a dividend tax, according to
charter, or5 per cent amounting to $700. In
1S72 a stock dividend of $0,000 was declared
on which a dividend tax of $3,000 was due tho
city. In addition to this the company owed
the city tax on cars between the
number reported to the Controller and
that reported to the Secretary of Internal
Affairs. This amounted to $3,308 91, making
a total indebtedness to the city of $1,203 9L
There is also duo from the Union Line Pas
senger Kailway Company and the Jforth
side Eailway Company, roads that are under
tho control of the Pittsburg, Allegheny and
Manohester Railway Company, the follow
ing taxes: Union Line, car taxes for tho
vears 1887 to 1891 inclusive, $1,000; Kortbside
llallway Company, car taxes, $1,000, and
street oleaning tax, including 1891, $1,000.
These sums being added to the amount
claimed from tho parent company aggre
gate $15,008 9L . .
The Federal Street and Pleasant Valley
Railway Company Is indebted to the city for
taxes on cars, which were not reported to
the City Controller as is required by the
ordinance granting the company the right
of way over the streets, In the sum of $5,900.
There is also due the city from this com
pany a dividend tax of $675 50 on a dividend
declared fn 1890. The Ploasant Talloy Com
pany also declared a stock dividend on their
stock by increasing the capital stock from
$100,000 to $1,000,000, Issuing ten new shares
for each old one. This 13 equivalent to a
stock dividend of $900,000, and on this the
city is entitled to the 5 per cent dividend
tax, amounting to $45.000 an aggregate of
$51,675 50. Tho Federal Street and
Pleasant Valley Railway Company also
owns or controls the following lines:
Park Passenger Railway, People's
Line Passenger Railway Company, Observa
tory Hill Railway Company, Observatory
Hill Railway Company, Crosstown Branch,
Perry Street Railway Company, Troy Hill
Railway Company and Allegheny Short
Line.
AMOUNTS OWED BY THE BA1IAVAYS.
The Park Passenger Railway Company is
indebted to the city for taxes on cars for the
years 18SS to 1691 Inclusive, amounting to
$720, and street cleaning and repair taxes
from 188 to 1891 inclusive, amount
ing to $1,700, also dividend tax of
$195; total, $3,615. This company also agreed
In section 5 of their ordinance passed June
9. 1831, to construct the road "in a solid and
workmanlike manner, and to have granite
blocks six inches In width on each side of
the rails, subject to the approval of the City
Engineer." Thfs they have utterly failed to
do.
The People's Line Passenger Railway
Company, another ward 'or branch of the
Pleasant Valley system, has apparently
"passed into a Kip Van Winkle slumber, as
they have not stepped up to the Treasurer's
desk to settle for a single year's, tax since
the ordinance was passed, and now- owe a
street cleaning tax for the years 18tS to 1391
inclusive of $.1,500.
aAnotlier feeder of the Pleasant Valley
Company Is the Observatory Hill Railway
Company, that agreed to pay the city $200
per year to keep the streets on which'tbelr
rails are laid clean and in repair. They are
indebted SLOOO for the years 1887 to 1891 In-
